We've been together 11 years now, and have been saying each and every one of those years---we need to buy new every day china (seriously).

When we first got married I used a set my sister gave me.Then a couple years ago Mom passed on a set to me.Over the years it's all become a varied collection.I keep saying I'm going to splurge on a brand new complete set but haven't done it yet.

I've had the same dishes since before we were married 12 years ago. I get a new thing here and there, but nothing matches which is fine because I don't think the President will be stopping by anytime soon. I'm just happey when they're all clean.

About 8 years. I found a spare 20-piece set that I had bought, put away, and forgotten about, so I'll be able to have a complete, chip-free service for 8 of the everyday stuff again. Like we have 8 people around for dinner every night.....like I cook every night.....

It's pretty (exotic floral on a stark white background), big and heavy, and the kitchen cabinets have held up fine. I've got a lot of the old stuff that survived; it's packed away in the cellar for that yard sale we're going to have someday.....

I have a set for company (which I never have) in my china cabinet.

It just doesn't make sense to spend money on it does it???? That's why we hemmed and hawwed, but the set we were using had actual cracks...and each month or so a plate would break LOL..and we do use it everyday. So uhhhh...
